Tuxedo, New York
Tuxedo is a town located in Orange County, New York along the Ramapo River. Pierre Lorillard, heir to the Lorillard Tobacco Company is often associated with Tuxedo Park since between 1802 and 1812 he purchased the first tracts of land upon which it later would be developed. Several theories surround the invention of the "tuxedo", but popular belief that it is surrounded by two theories, the first theory suggests that it was introduced by Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII while American believes that it is introduced by Pierre Lorillard IV. The residents of tuxedo park permitted their guests to build the own social organization named “Tuxedo Club”.The first Annual Bal of tuxedo club held on 1986 and during that time tailcoat was purely preferred as the traditional attire, but he commissioned tailless tuxedo for his son Griswold to wear at the ball. Due to the wealthy status of the young Griswold, it was considered as a striking fashion and well admitted by many gentlemen in “Dress Circle of New York’s Metropolitan Opera” in 1889.This recent provocative style was dubbed as “Tuxedo” which leads the radical departure of tailcoat.
